Yea, and you're basing that on facts from where? If you haven't
noticed by now NEWSFLASH! nobody from Python-dev has weighed in. Where
is Steve Holden on the issue... who knows? Where is his subordinate on
this?

Obviously you've never dealt with these folks before have you?

Yea, thats all it takes Corey.  Obviously you have not been around
here long and know that because your spirit is not broken yet. But
don't worry Corey, because if you hang around long enough these
monsters will crucify you. Then you will understand why i have to rant
so much, and why we find ourselves a full decade behind in GUI
libraries with no good solution in sight. They can find a thousand
reasons not to remove Tkinter and not one of them have an once of
vision or thought applied. These people live on emotion, one hand
washes the other, and back door politics. That is the current state of
Python-dev as it relates to the "peasents". We are nothing to them.

Python has lost all vision as a community. This is no doubt the
beginning of the end. Better check out GO...
